I have setup Joplin a few weeks ago and I really enjoy using it. AFAIK it is not as powerful as something like Notion or Obsidian, but it just works. And is already miles better than using loose txt files, like I was before.
- throwaway4aday 4y agoJoplin is great. Easy to use, simple, markdown powered and the export to web is not bad.
- dkarl 4y agoI'll have to give Joplin another try. Last time I tried it (probably more than a year ago) the sync interval was fixed, and the fastest option was five minutes, which didn't work for the use case of making a note on my laptop, tossing my laptop in my bag, walking out the door, and having the note available on my phone.
- alex3305 4y agoThe shortest sync interval is still 5 minutes. But I have developed the habit of CTRL+S'ing after each important change. Which is coincidentally the sync shortcut key within Joplin. So for me that isn't really an issue. But to be fair, I was looking for a 'real-time' webbased app, like Notion. But I wanted it to be self-hosted, use Markdown for formatting, (a little) polished and easy to setup and maintain. And while Joplin isn't perfect, or even fits all of my criteria, it was a close second. Even if it has it's drawbacks.
